MOUNT TRAIL

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

10.88 X 8.16 INCHES

"Mount Kinabalu” (Malay: Gunung Kinabalu, Dusun: Gayo Ngaran or Nulu Nabalu) is the highest mountain in Borneo, the Malay Archipelago, and Malaysia. With an elevation of 13,435 ft. (4,095 m), it is the third highest Peak of an island on Earth and the 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence. The mountain is located in Ranau District, West Coast Division of Sabah, Malaysia. It is protected as the Kinabalu Park, a World Heritage Site. A person can climb its low peak with good physical conditions, and there is no need for mountaineering equipment at any point on the main route. Still, climbers must be accompanied by accredited guides at all times due to national park regulations and may experience altitude sickness.

As a photographer, I strive to transmit my vision and emotion of the natural world by extracting photos that inspire a sense of location and immerse the viewers in the environment. I am in love with this place. However, circumstances have flipped, and everything occurs for a purpose. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown us into a loop, requiring us to work harder throughout these years. With new SOPs or rules and regulations issued, everything has altered from our previous routines. On the other hand, this is our chance to shine, and we must confront it together."
